I am just getting started with graph databases. I would like to talk to them in a PHP application. In particular, I am looking at OrientDB, mainly because of its licensing benefits and features over neo4j.
What is the recommended way to interact with OrientDB within PHP? Is there a generalized framework like tinkerpop for the PHP world?
I would like to query my graphs using mainly gremlin and a bit of OrientDB's extended SQL (only if necessary).
I know there are 2 php connectors: Orient and OrientDB-PHP, but have not tried them yet. Has anyone had any experiences with them? What are the pros and cons? I would of course prefer something like tinkerpop for PHP if it exists, but if it doesn't a library geared towards OrientDB is fine too.
